Published August 30, 2026

I Have a Pleasure Room is an exploitable that pairs a menacing Christian Grey screenshot from Fifty Shades of Grey with photos of whatever the poster actually loves, from Assassin's Creed bedrooms to kitten piles. It first appeared on 9GAG in November 2015 and spread to Facebook and Reddit as one of the more recognizable bait-and-switch exploitables of the late 2010s.

Overview

I Have a Pleasure Room is a two-panel exploitable built from a scene in the 2015 film Fifty Shades of Grey, where Christian Grey shows Anastasia Steele his private BDSM space1. The top panel is a still of Grey with the caption "I have a pleasure room. Do you want to see?" while the bottom panel is a photograph of whatever the poster considers their own idea of paradise2.

Versions range from themed bedrooms and video game shrines to piles of animals, celebrity fandoms and hobby setups3. The joke pivots on the contrast between Grey's sinister setup and a wholesome, nerdy or absurd payoff, which is why the payoff pictures tend to be as dorky as possible. It sits in the same broad family of image-macro bait-and-switch formats that dominated 9GAG and Facebook meme pages in the mid-2010s.

The film Fifty Shades of Grey opened in the United States on February 13, 2015, and included the scene where Jamie Dornan's Christian Grey introduces Dakota Johnson's Anastasia Steele to a room dedicated to sexual gratification, telling her, "That room is much more about pleasure. I promise you."1

On November 16, 2015, an anonymous 9GAG user posted a screenshot from that scene with the caption "I have a pleasure room. Do you want to see?" paired underneath with a photograph of an Assassin's Creed-themed bedroom, launching the exploitable format2.

How It Spread

The template stayed niche on 9GAG through 2016 before crossing over to Facebook meme pages. On October 22, 2016, the page thedailykitties posted a version swapping the gamer bedroom for a couch overrun by kittens, and the post pulled in more than 5,500 reactions, 995 comments and 2,800 shares over the next two years4.

The format hit its widest reach in May 2018, when Facebook page menshumor posted a dog-filled variation that racked up more than 16,000 reactions, 5,600 comments and 9,000 shares in under a year5. Later that year, on November 13, Redditor Sara1125 posted a version starring YouTuber PewDiePie in /r/PewdiepieSubmissions, where it drew more than 4,300 points at 98% upvoted and 25 comments in under a day6.

By 2018 the template had cycled through animal, celebrity and fandom variations across 9GAG, Facebook and Reddit, making it a recognizable mid-2010s Facebook-meme staple3.

How to Use This Meme

The template typically uses the exact Christian Grey screenshot with the caption "I have a pleasure room. Do you want to see?" on top, then a second image beneath showing something the poster genuinely loves, whether that is a fandom shrine, a stack of snacks, a room full of pets or a chaotic hobby corner. The joke lands harder when the payoff is wholesome, dorky or oddly specific compared to the ominous setup, which is why animal photos and video game bedrooms were common conventions of the format.
